She is a professor of English at the University of California Berkeley. Klappentext Mukherjee! whose short story collection "The Middleman" won the 1998 National Book Critics Circle Award! presents a masterful meditation on marriage and family ties. Zusammenfassung "The highlight of her career to date . . . Mukherjee bursts out as a star" ( Publishers Weekly [starred review]) in her stirring novel of three women, two continents, and a perilous journey from the old world to the new--now available in paperback. In the tradition of the Joy Luck Club , Bharati Mukherjee has written a remarkable novel that is both the portrait of a traditional Brahmin Indian family and a contemporary American story of a woman who has in many ways broken with tradition but still remains tied to her native country. Mukherjee follows the diverging paths taken by three extraordinary Calcutta-born sisters as they come of age in a changing world. Moving effortlessly between generations, she weaves together fascinating stories of the sisters' ancestors, childhood memories, and dramatic scenes from India's history.
